308: Following this are the instructions which you would have on a piece of
309: paper if you had purchased a CDROM set instead of doing an alternate
310: form of install. The instructions for doing an FTP (or other style
311: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact
312: so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had
313: purchased a CDROM instead.

346: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
347: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
348: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
349: <p>
350:
351: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
352: <ul>
353: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
354: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
355: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
356: <i>CD1:5.2/i386/floppy52.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
357:
358: <p>
359: Use <i>CD1:5.2/i386/floppyB52.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
360: support, or <i>CD1:5.2/i386/floppyC52.fs</i> for better laptop support.
361:
362: <p>
363: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
364: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
365: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
366:
367: <p>
368: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
369: read INSTALL.i386.
370:
371: <p>
372: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
373: at <i>CD1:5.2/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
374: use the
375: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
376: utility. The following is an example usage of
377: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
378: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
379: "rfd0a".
380:
381: <ul><pre>
382: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
383: </pre></ul>
384:
385: <p>
386: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
387: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
388: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
389: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.2</a>.

394: <ul>
395: The 5.2 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
396: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
397: your BIOS options first.
398: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
399: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.2/amd64/floppy52.fs</i> to a floppy, then
400: boot from the floppy drive.
401:
402: <p>
403: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
404: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
405: INSTALL.amd64 document.

673: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
674: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
675: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command

679: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_2</strong>

686: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
